Chapter 696: The Wang Sisters Fall Out of Favor
It was the end of July.

The sun seemed to be scorching the land of Guanzhong, emitting scorching sunlight every day.

Occasionally there would be a sudden downpour, and by the next day the ground would be filled with irritating dust again.

"This damn God really doesn't want me to live."

Su Mingzhe took the concubines in the harem and the young princes and princesses to Mount Li to escape the summer heat.

There were also some concubines who were unwilling to come, such as Concubine Yan, Wu Meiniang, and Xu Hui.

The three of them said they had to look after the crops and did not dare to leave their post.

Seeing how dedicated the three girls were, Su Mingzhe could only promise them that he would give them a big reward after the crops matured.

Huaqing Palace in Mount Li, formerly known as Tangquan Palace, is a summer palace that has existed since the Qin and Han dynasties.

The current name was changed by Su Mingzhe.

When they arrived at the place, a cool mountain breeze blew slowly, immediately driving away everyone's fatigue from the journey.

The concubines who had children had their accommodation arranged by the eunuch in charge of the palace according to their status.

All the childless women lived with Su Mingzhe near the main hall.

This is the royal summer resort and there is no attendant to supervise.

Even Wang De, the chief eunuch, would not cause trouble for the emperor.

Therefore, in this place, Su Mingzhe can enjoy three thousand beauties at will and be a foolish and incompetent ruler.

Of course, although he was on vacation to escape the summer heat, as an emperor, he still exchanged various information with Chang'an City every day.

On this day, messengers came rushing from Chang'an City and delivered more than a dozen memorials.

After Wang De received the memorial, he hurried to the hot spring where Su Mingzhe was resting and reported:

"Your Majesty, there is a memorial sent from Chang'an."

"Send it in."

Su Mingzhe was also used to dealing with memorials every day. He loosened his arms around the beauty, and the Wang sisters snuggled in the man's arms. He took the towel from the palace maid next to him and helped the man wipe the water droplets off his body.

After sitting down beside the imperial desk, Su Mingzhe opened the memorial, took a quick look at it, and felt it was uninteresting.

Some time ago, there were either droughts or floods everywhere.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe prayed for rain in time and provided effective disaster relief, which enabled various places to deal with the disaster in a timely manner and prevent the natural disaster from turning into a man-made disaster.

Now these places have survived the disaster and are starting to reap the harvest.

The local officials sent letters of gratitude and flattered the emperor.

As an emperor, he was no longer surprised by such memorials.

Su Mingzhe replied with a few words, and Wang De, who was grinding next to him, saw it and flattered him again:

"Your Majesty's Feibai style has become more and more exquisite, like silk, elegant and graceful, and is no less than the two Wangs."

"You are good at speaking nicely."

Su Mingzhe burst into laughter after hearing Wang De's flattery.

It is said that the Feibai style of the Two Wangs is like a beautiful woman, charming and graceful.

And his own Feibai is also exactly the same.

The "Two Wangs" refer to the father and son Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, not the Wang sisters.

Even so, the Wang sisters acted proud when they heard it.

Su Mingzhe just laughed and added a few more words to the memorial, asking these local officials to be diligent in the king's affairs.

When Wang De left with the memorial, the Wang sisters snuggled up to him again.

The older Wang Yufeng said in a soft voice:
"Your Majesty, would you like to ask the dancer to dance for a while so that we can rest for a while?"

"I want to see you dance."

Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand and lifted the chin of this beautiful woman, teasingly saying:

"The 'Peacock Dance' you and your sister performed last time was really memorable."

Wang Yufeng's originally rosy and tender face, after being teased by the man, instantly turned red as blood, and she was so beautiful that she kept on asking:
"Your Majesty, you are teasing me again."

"Hahaha……"

Su Mingzhe let his sister go, turned around and looked at his younger sister Wang Yuyan, and said with a smile:

"Yan'er, have you rested well?"

Wang Yuyan was a little quieter than her sister. When she heard the man's question, she replied in a clear voice:

"Your Majesty, I also want to see the difference between the musicians and dancers in Huaqing Palace and those in Chang'an Jiaofangsi. Why don't we watch some more singing and dancing and take a break at the same time?"

When Su Mingzhe saw that both girls were trying to refuse, he knew that the sisters could no longer bear the beating.

However, although the sisters were weak and could not withstand the beating, they did not want to let other women come and share the man.

This is not a good practice.

Su Mingzhe decided to teach them a lesson.

scoff-

As the thin gauze on her body was easily torn by the man, Wang Yuyan's pretty face immediately broke out in a cold sweat:
"Your Majesty, please favor your sister."

Wang Yufeng had never expected that her own sister would betray her in the blink of an eye. However, after seeing the man's fiery gaze turned to her, she could not care less about secretly scolding her sister for being selfish and heartless. She could only force a smile and pretend to be generous:

"Your Majesty, I and my sister have been receiving your grace for a long time. There are many sisters in the palace waiting for your favor. Why don't you call the other sisters over and share your grace equally?"

"Feng'er is still well-behaved."

Seeing that the two women were showing weakness, Su Mingzhe did not force them too much.

After a while, more than a dozen beautiful ladies who had been waiting for a long time came in from the bedroom at the back.

As for the Wang sisters, they had already retreated.

After the Wang sisters returned to the bedroom, the four palace maids who served them saw that their clothes were not only wet but also torn, so they quickly took out dry clothes for the two women to change into.

A quick-talking palace maid, seeing the "love marks" on the Wang sisters, couldn't help but ask enviously: "My queen, does His Majesty want you to sleep with him tonight?"

"of course."

When Wang Yufeng was in front of the palace maids who served her, her tone was somewhat haughty, arrogant and conceited.

Since the two sisters entered the palace, the emperor basically asked them to sleep with him.

No concubine in the harem has ever received such favored treatment.

After changing into dry clothes, the two sisters returned to their beds to rest after their three thousand black hairs were dried by the palace maids using hot wooden boards.

Since coming to Huaqing Palace, Su Mingzhe has been looking for women to sleep with him at night, and he has slept with several women in one night.

However, although there were many concubines serving in the emperor's bedchamber, the Wang sisters had always been the main force.

If they don't take some more rest now, the two sisters won't have the energy to sleep with you at night.

Wake up.

The two sisters felt that their bodies and spirits had recovered, and they asked the palace maid to bring them the floral water that His Majesty had rewarded them with.

Under the careful care of the palace maids, the two sisters wiped each other.

In fact, Su Mingzhe told the two sisters that they were young and beautiful and did not need things like toilet water, rouge, lipstick, etc. to enhance their beauty.

But the two sisters believed that if they did not use these things, men would favor other women who did use them.

After putting on their makeup, the two sisters sat at the door and waited for the chief eunuch to come and take them to the bedchamber.

However, the two girls waited from sunset to the time when the sky was full of stars, but the emperor never sent anyone to pick them up.

Finally, a young eunuch passed by the door, and Wang Yufeng quickly called him:

"Little eunuch, what is His Majesty doing now? Why hasn't he asked us sisters to sleep with him yet?"

The young eunuch also knew that the Wang sisters were quite favored recently, so he quickly replied in a low voice:
"Your Majesty will stay at Concubine Zheng's place tonight."

"Why would Your Majesty go to Concubine Zheng's place?"

The Wang sisters couldn't believe it.

Because the two sisters knew that Concubine Zheng entered the Prince of Qin's Palace in the fourth year of Wude, and by now, Concubine Zheng was already an "old woman" over 30 years old.

How can such an "old woman" compare to the youth, beauty and charm of her sisters?

How could the young eunuch know the answer? He smiled bitterly and bowed:
"I don't know the specific reason. But I heard that Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Yin have also gone there. If you two want to know the situation, you can go and take a look yourself."

"Thank you, eunuch."

Wang Yufeng took off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to the young eunuch, thanking him for telling her sisters so much information.

"Thank you for the reward."

After receiving the reward, the young eunuch expressed his gratitude and quickly said goodbye and left.

"Sister, are we going to Concubine Zheng's place too?"

Wang Yuyan was unwilling to see the emperor being taken away.

You know, after the two sisters entered the palace, they were basically the ones who slept with the emperor.

"Don't go!"

Wang Yufeng remembered what Princess Tong'an had warned her before she entered the palace. Her eyes widened and she exuded a commanding aura:

"Your Majesty wants to try something new sometimes, so we can't be too overbearing. Tomorrow, His Majesty will definitely come and invite us to sleep with him again."

When Wang Yuyan heard her sister say this, she calmed down and nodded quickly to show that she agreed with her sister's judgment.

After all, the emperor did always favor the two sisters.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

The two sisters waited in vain for another day, but as the day passed, the emperor still did not come to call them.

As a result, I asked a palace maid and learned that the emperor stayed at Concubine Zheng's place yesterday and did not come back.

Wang Yuyan began to panic:

"Sister, could it be that His Majesty has been bewitched by Concubine Zheng?"

"Definitely not."

Wang Yufeng remained relatively calm and analyzed carefully:

"If Concubine Zheng really had such great charm, how could it be possible that she only began to charm Your Majesty now after more than ten years?"

"There must be some secrets here that we don't know about."

The Wang sisters could not guess the reason, so after thinking it over again and again, they decided to wait until tomorrow to go to Concubine Zheng to check.

Another night passed.

After getting up, the Wang sisters simply put on some makeup and changed into the same white gauze palace skirts, then went to Concubine Zheng together.

The two women originally thought that Concubine Zheng's residence was deserted, but in fact it was the most lively place in Huaqing Palace.

More than a dozen underage princes and princesses, over a hundred palace maids and eunuchs, and a dozen concubines were crowded here.

When the extremely beautiful Wang sisters walked into the crowd, they did not attract anyone's attention.

The two sisters were curious about what everyone was paying attention to, and following everyone's gaze, they saw a woman sitting on each side of the emperor.

On Su Mingzhe's left was a beautiful woman in a green skirt and white gauze, it was Concubine Zheng.

On the emperor's right was a young girl in white gauze and white skirt, who was no older than the Wang sisters.

The girl in the white dress has a dignified face, pure and elegant, with clear eyes and a mature and elegant temperament.

Wang Yuyan was still carefully observing how the girl was prettier than herself, while her sister Wang Yufeng had already found an elderly eunuch, stuffed a jade pendant into her mouth, and asked about the girl's identity.

"To answer the talented lady, she is Concubine Zheng's sister. The reason why everyone is looking at her curiously is because she looks exactly like Empress Changsun."

"What? She looks exactly like Empress Changsun?"

The official's words were like a bolt from the blue. Wang Yufeng instantly felt a chill down her spine and lost all her strength in an instant.
